Autism Awareness Day - Neurodiversity in the Workplace

In this one-hour webinar, we explore the significance of understanding and embracing neurodiversity within the workplace. We begin by defining neurodiversity and highlighting its importance in creating an inclusive work environment. We discuss legal and ethical considerations, such as the Equality Act 2010 and the duty to make reasonable adjustments, to ensure compliance and support for neurodivergent individuals. Throughout the webinar, we delve into the benefits of neurodiversity in the workplace, including enhanced innovation, improved team dynamics, and increased employee satisfaction. We also address challenges related to identification, disclosure, and stigma, offering practical solutions to overcome these obstacles. We provide strategies for creating an inclusive work environment, including training initiatives, flexible policies, and support networks.

Wellbeing Webinar: Financial Stress & Mental Health

Financial strain is recognised as being one of the key stress factors for adults, and it can be a major risk factor for poor mental health. It is not uncommon for people to neglect their mental health, specifically when they are experiencing financial stress. This can lead to significant problems in the long term and even worsen the existing financial stress. In this session, we will explore the relationship between financial stress and health - and attendees will leave with practical tools to help them combat financial stress, and stay well.
